Chapter 346 It’s the Prime Minister who really didn’t lie to me

It’s no wonder that Huai Guomo reacted badly.

In many of the Navy's combat scenarios at the turn of the century, the role played by the 8J was almost always at the core of combat operations.

Whether it was the initial low-altitude penetration of a JH-7 aircraft group, or the later large formation assault after the Type 22 missile boats entered service, this kind of maritime surveillance aircraft is required to perform target search and relay guidance tasks.

Although this method has limited effect against opponents with aircraft carriers, it is after all the only advanced tactic that the Chinese Navy can use in this era.

As a result, this time, he was directly interfered by the other party!

When it was decided to import eight SouShui 8 radars, the country also thought that the British might do something with the equipment.

However, at that time, everyone's understanding of electronic warfare was not deep enough, and they did not have this string in their minds. The main concern was that the other party would discount the performance and functions of the equipment, which was the so-called "monkey version" of exports.

After all, we had suffered a lot when doing business with Americans in the past ten years, such as F16/J79 and the like.

Special precautions were taken in this regard during the signing of the contract and subsequent acceptance inspection.

As a result, I didn’t expect that their current routines have evolved.

There is nothing wrong with the exported equipment itself, but others hold the key to countering you.

Fortunately, this is just a confrontation. If it is really a conflict or even a war, then it will be discovered that others can easily disable one's most critical radar even if they use equipment from twenty years ago, and the consequences will be serious.

Although there is no longer much conflict between China and the United Kingdom, especially the United Kingdom that has completed the change of leadership, it is well known that the British secrets are completely open to the United States...

This is not finished.

Huai Guomo quickly thought of something more fatal.

After all, Yun 8J was just a transitional product in the original plan.

but.

Ring Engineering.

That is a strategic project related to the improvement of the Air Force's combat effectiveness in the next 15-20 years.

From radar to command terminals and electronic countermeasures equipment, they use a full set of equipment from the Great Patriotic State.

The British are unreliable, so how can David be reliable?

It is a trivial matter that a billion-dollar budget has been wasted. The key point is that the research and development progress of the early warning aircraft may be delayed for several years or even longer.

Thinking of this, Huai Guomo almost broke into a cold sweat.

"Is there any way to solve this situation, I mean, remedy it?"

he asked solemnly.

The problem with the Ring Project is that the contract on China's side has been signed, and the advance payment of 3.5 million has been paid. If the contract is terminated now, we will be the one who breaches the contract.

This is another reason why Chang Haonan did not rush to stop this project before (the first reason is that this kind of strategic project cannot be stopped just because of one person) -

Anyway, he knew that the David Council would take the initiative to breach the contract later, and China would not suffer much in terms of money, as long as it ensured that the domestic early warning aircraft project was pushed forward without wasting time.

"There is no trick, the only way is to completely modify the hardware, at least the transmitting circuit part, which is equivalent to fundamentally changing the signal characteristics of the radar, so that the other party will not predict it in advance. Just like this time, even if it was originally No matter how strong the electromagnetic interference is, there will still be a delay of several seconds before the interference can be re-implemented after we switch modes. However, judging from the feedback from the crew, the opponent's countermeasures arrive almost simultaneously. It is obvious that they know everything..."

When Chang Haonan said this, the pen in his hand suddenly stopped——

He just realized something.

Of course he knew about the Wave 97 Task Group, but why did an aircraft originally belonging to the North Sea Fleet Aviation Force encounter the British Fleet in the South China Sea?

"Director Huai."

Chang Haonan looked to the other side of the conference room:

"Did something happen in the past two days? The letter just said that a Y-8J was intercepted by a British carrier-based aircraft, but I think this kind of thing will not happen for no reason."

"You do not know?"

When Huai Guomo heard this question, he was confused at first, but after a moment, he suddenly slapped his thigh.

"Blame me, blame me, forget that you are not an official staff member of our Science and Technology Commission... Because the impact of this matter is too great, the current scope of publicity is very limited... Of course Xiao Changqian and Academician Du can know, but in Do not disclose the information to others until it is made official."

Obviously, this is a big deal.

Chang Haonan nodded to express understanding.

"In fact, a few months ago, when the Lang Lang 97 fleet set sail, the Navy and the Air Force jointly formulated a set of response strategies. Simply put, it was to replace it with new equipment. In fact, it was the Navy after the J-8C and JH-7 The aviation force is the main force, to scare the British who come to stir up trouble."

"On June 6, one of our three-aircraft formations directly broke through the air defense of the fleet on the opposite side and flew over them. A pilot named Wang Wei even dropped it near their flagship, the aircraft carrier Excellence. Two auxiliary fuel tanks..."

Huai Guomo spent about ten minutes recounting what happened that day.

Chang Haonan was immediately happy:

"Is there such a thing?"

Compared with the previous time when the MiG-25 intercepted a triple-sonic squadron, although this time it did not bring any direct results, it was much more exciting in terms of perception.

After all, the Indians were our defeats 35 years ago, so it seems logical to defeat them now.

But the British are different.

Although the British army suffered several small losses in the process of facing the People's Liberation Army, in general, as an old empire, even if it is now in decline, it still makes China feel proud to do so all of a sudden.

Especially at such an important time.

It can be said that a century of shame has been wiped away.

"It's a pity that we can't publicize it."

After being excited for a while, Chang Haonan said with regret.

After all, happiness alone is not as good as happiness among everyone. No matter how happy you are, if only one person knows about it, you will not be happy for long.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Originally, at least it could be made public within the army. Even the manuscripts of commendations and publicity were written, but the next day, the other party suddenly sent us a note..."

"Why, are they still planning to continue causing trouble?"

Chang Haonan raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

Generally speaking, in this kind of thing, you have to accept the loss. Anyway, there will be no real losses. At most, a few relatively vulnerable people will be frightened into mental illness. This is also the ideological construction of the opponent's army. If the work is not done well, it has nothing to do with us.

"On the contrary, they are here to de-escalate."

Huai Guomo waved his hand:

"The things here are more complicated, involving the change of their parliament, and more importantly, the scandal of the royal family... In short, the new one in the UK is the Labor Party, and they have also benefited a lot from this incident. So we are very willing to do transactions and develop relationships with us.”

"So although there were some episodes in the middle, judging from the results, we won a complete victory due to a combination of circumstances, no matter on which level."

"..."

Chang Haonan's first feeling was speechless.

"Yes, Prime Minister" Don't lie to me.

These people are really willing to do anything to secure their position.

But for China, it is obviously a good thing.

In this era, Britain still has many areas worthy of cooperation.
